I said I won't deal with this patch set anymore because I got *thoroughly* frustrated with you and the lack of cooperation from many of the SoC people. It seems that the only way to get things done around here is to railroad them into linux-next and wait for people to notice the changes. That's really not an acceptable way of doing development, but it's the *only* one which gets people's attention. Sending emails does not work, because people ignore them. Moreover, your patch is a total rewrite of several of my patches, and is not an incremental set of changes. Given that my patch set which was last posted has the SoC changes done incrementally amongst the other changes, this is just not an acceptable approach, so frankly the patch is useless to me. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
